I don’t think this is the point she’s trying to make, but I’ll take it a step farther: Why are we spending ANY money to basically enhance soldier’s sex lives?? Isn’t sex the ultimate “distraction” from a solider’s duty?

Philando Castile was not shot by a Minneapolis police officer.

I’m sorry, but your comment is incredibly transphobic. Acceptance of a person’s identity has nothing to do with their political beliefs. If you want to support trans people you have to understand that hinging your acceptance of someone based on whether or not you agree with them is not ok.

So, trans people who are willing and capable of serving are shown the door, when Trump got to say “Owieeeeee, my feet hurt a little bit, guess you can’t draft me.”

So is Kelsey Grammer like a backwards Larry the Cable Guy??

I have a small bit of insight because I work with Minneapolis Police daily. I work at a non-profit, but one of our “partners” is MPD. As a youth worker, I am coming from such a different experience and mindset than police officers, it has been at times very shocking to hear and see how they behave. But at the same…

What if the footage is obscured in some way?

Can’t wait for the terminally ill baby-in-chief to take credit for this.

I’m honestly perplexed by the amount of Lana Del Ray articles on this site. She is someone I keep being told is interesting and popular but I don’t see much substance beyond the hype. There is a mythology around her that seems entirely contrived.

I agree it is worth the money, however the truth is video evidence hasn’t made much of a difference anyhow. It seems to soothe the public to a degree, but that’s about it. It’s not the panacea folks are hoping for.

Ultra-marathons would get my vote. They sound like straight up torture.

The first sentence makes no sense. Old growth trees are amazing and awesome precisely because of their strength and longevity.

Any women’s sport. The constant criticism and negativity. People telling you you’re not good enough never goes away, now matter how much success you achieve. I can’t imagine it’s mentally easy.

Don’t you think science has contributed more to causing global warming than tarot cards ever could?? Maybe don’t put any belief system on a pedestal so high that it must never be questioned, but that’s not what I’m seeing anyone doing with tarot.

The cost of all this is actually astronomical. And there are a wealth of issues that are brought up about the rights of people being filmed, who can watch it, how long it needs to be stored, etc. It really is a much more extensive and costly endeavor than the public realizes.

I’ve heard Mpls officers simply say they can turn it on and off when they want to. It’s like the use of force policy, basically any action they take can be justified retroactively.

I wonder how much this might have to do once again with how difficult it is for women to make films. Of course eating disorders don’t only affect women, but they are largely perceived that way. Women’s problems are just not highly valued film topics.

Military uniforms, postal uniforms, freaking Target khakis and red shirts. Clothing has been “fluid” right in front of our eyes for a long time now. Come on millenials. You can’t even get articles about your own shit right.

If boys are reading Traumarama now I think it becomes super important to keep including the period stories. So they know how normal it is to freaking bleed all over the place. Oh, and so they know to NOT pull on someone’s tampon string.

This article came at the perfect time. I have an acquaintance on Facebook who wrote a long diatribe about how annoyed he is with customers who order iced coffee. (He’s a snobby barista, obviously.) According to him there is no such thing, there are many other cold coffee beverages, but no iced coffee. As a consumer…
